French Caroline Garcia has qualified for the WTA finals in Singapore for the first time, inheriting Amelie Mauresmo.
Garcia will benefit from Johanna Kontakt’s cancellation of the tournament in Moscow.The British rider is suffering from a foot injury and slips out of the Race to Singapore behind Garcia, who secured eighth and last place in the finals at the end of October.
Garcia worked her way through Sinagpur, especially in the last few weeks.The 23-year-old triumphed on the Asian tour in Wuhan and Beijing.With 46 victories in the season, the French woman joins the top eight players of the season with Garbine Muguruza, Karolina Pliskova, Simona Halep, Elina Svitolina, Venus Williams, Caroline Wozniacki and Jelena Ostapenko.

Since 2006, no French woman has reached the finals:”Being the first French woman since Amelie Mauresmo in 2006 to qualify for the finals makes it even more special for me,”Garcia explained at WTA.
For the current number nine in the world, this is the first time ever that it has been shown in Singapore.Last year, the French woman stood alongside her compatriot Kristina Mladenovic in the doubles at the Court of the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
“To qualify for the WTA Finals is what the world means to me,”the 23-year-old added.She is overjoyed to be one of the top eight players and is already looking forward to being a part of this field,”Garcia said.
